Spain and Saudi Arabia Establish Strategic Partnership Council
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan visited Madrid to finalize a significant upgrade in bilateral relations with Spain. The visit culminated in the establishment of a Strategic Partnership Council, designed to enhance coordination in politics, security, defense, energy, and culture. Additionally, both nations signed an agreement for reciprocal visa exemptions for diplomatic and service passport holders to facilitate institutional exchanges. The discussions highlighted strong economic ties, noting Saudi Arabia as Spain’s primary commercial partner in the region, and expressed Spanish solidarity following recent Iranian attacks on Saudi territory. Both countries reaffirmed their commitment to multilateralism, international law, and de-escalation in regional conflicts such as those in Gaza and Lebanon. Spain also voiced support for Saudi Vision 2030 and officially backed Riyadh’s bid for Expo 2030. This milestone reflects a deepening diplomatic alliance focused on shared values, regional stability, and expanded economic cooperation between the Kingdom and the European nation.
